Abstract

The government finances Constituency Development Fund projects to ensure they are effectively finished. In addition, they play a key role in the achievement of the Kenya's Vision 2030. To improve the performance of Constituency Development Fund projects monitoring and evaluation is a common practice during various phases of the projects. However, most Constituency Development Fund projects are characterized by low stakeholder involvement. Further, Constituency Development Fund initiatives have worse success with regard to time, cost, and quality targets. The study therefore sought to examine the effect of stakeholder involvement in monitoring and evaluation on performance of the Constituency Development Fund projects in Juja constituency, Kiambu County. Descriptive and explanatory research was used for the investigation. The target population was 60 Constituency Development Fund projects in Juja Constituency and the respondents were 60 individuals. The results indicated that stakeholders' involvement in monitoring and evaluation has a positive and significant effect on performance of the Constituency Development Fund projects in Juja constituency. The study concludes that an improvement in stakeholder involvement in monitoring and evaluation would lead to an improvement in the performance of the Constituency Development Fund projects in Juja constituency. The study recommends that all stakeholders in a project should be properly informed in order to guarantee that meetings are held frequently and that all members participate actively in monitoring and evaluation. Involvement and management of stakeholders improves project quality and project ownership. All stakeholders should be involved in every monitoring and evaluation activity and make necessary adjustments if required to ensure Constituency Development Fund projects achieve the set objectives.
